3.18 Different Types of Detection Zones
3.18.1 Introduction
When handling events in Operation Mode, it is important to be aware
of differences regarding the detection zone configuration (configured
by using the AutroSafe Configuration Tool).
The type of the specific detection zone as well as the type of point
(detector or manual call point) will determine how the system
responds to the signal - with respect to
action
.
The system has the following types of detection zones:
Immediate Action
detection zone
Coincidence Action
detection zone
Delayed Action
detection zone
Delayed Coincidence
